Grandfather Strength

June 13th, 2011 | Category: Age Related

Below is a video of a 70 year old grandfather showing off his skills on a pull-up bar in the Ukraine.  Clearly, age isn’t the crutch that many make it out to be.

Use it or lose it…

    Awesome. My Grandad used to swim for hours in the ocean and stand on his head for a few minutes between plunges at 75 years old.

    This is cooler though :D

    That’s sick. I’m only 47 and have been trying for years to do a front lever and still can’t do it. This guy is amazingly strong.

    Well, in 23 years time maybe you’ll be able to do one :-)

    That is awesome! Use it or lose it! Just keep at it (or get started).

    He’s doing things on the bar that I haven’t even thought of. Extremely wide grip chins?!?!

    Thanks for sharing Ross!

    The fact that he is 70 year old, says that age is just a number when it comes to fitness, it’s still possible to transform. With motivation and drive it can be done.
    I bet his nephews are proud:)
    God bless him!

    That’s what I want to be like at 70! What an inspiration, all possible with positive lifestyle choices.
